Following months of rumors, leaks, and speculation, Rockstar Games finally announcedGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, which will bring the PS2-eraGrand Theft Autogames to modern platforms. Rockstar promised that the games would be releasing “soon,” but neglected to provide a specific release date. While Rockstar Games itself has yet to properly reveal theGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionrelease date, a reputable leaker may have let the cat out of the bag.
Leaker Tom Henderson, who has accurately leakedGrand Theft Autonews in the past, wrote a piece for GamingIntel where he claimed to leak theGrand Theft Auto Trilogyrelease date. According to Henderson’s sources, theGrand Theft Auto Trilogyrelease date is pegged for Thursday, June 21, 2025, with an announcement coming onGrand Theft Auto 3’s 20th anniversary. For the uninitiated, that would be Friday, October 22.

A November 11 release date forGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionmakes sense. Previously, theGrand Theft Auto 5next-gen remasterwas going to launch on November 11, but it was delayed to March 2022 for unknown reasons. Since Rockstar Games was going to release a title on that date anyway, it stands to reason that it would think about movingGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionout on that day instead.
Rockstar Games is looking to makeGrand Theft Auto 3’s 20th anniversary special through the release ofGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive EditionandspecialGTA 3cosmetics inGrand Theft Auto Online. It makes sense that it would use the actual date ofGrand Theft Auto 3’s 20th anniversary for something special, and the release date announcement forGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionwould certainly fit the bill.
While not explicitly mentioned in Henderson’s report, it would make sense that the release date announcement would be accompanied by a trailer.Rockstar Gameshas revealed very little about what fans can expect fromGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionbeyond that it will have some vague enhancements. It would be great to see it in action so fans know exactly what to expect when the release date finally rolls around, whether that’s on November 11 as predicted or on some other date.
Ultimately, fans should take this information with a grain of salt for now. Until Rockstar Games decides to announce theGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionrelease dateitself, fans won’t know for sure exactly when to expect the collection.
